Is bedwetting a normal phenomenon for babies?

Patient's question:

Female, 2 years old, have been feeling very tired recently. After checking at the hospital, she found out she was sick and wants to receive proper treatment to improve her condition. Question: Is it normal for the baby to wet the bed?

Doctor's answer:

Bedwetting is a normal phenomenon. If a child is still bedwetting at the age of 5, it is considered nocturnal enuresis. Parents can let the child urinate once before taking a nap and control the child's fluid intake during the day. It is appropriate to guide the child to cry out when they want to urinate. Different causes lead to different symptoms. Patients need to go to a formal Grade-A hospital for systematic and standardized examinations as soon as possible according to their own condition to receive targeted treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a regular schedule, take precautions against cold, eat light and soft foods, keep the room well-ventilated, and drink plenty of hot water daily.
